Anyone who is having troubles should pray. ... When a believing person prays, great things happen. -James 5:13,16 NCV

A Common Temptation

It is a common temptation of Satan to make us give up the reading of the Word and prayer when our enjoyment is gone; as if it were of no use to read the Scriptures when we do not enjoy them, and as if it were no use to pray when we have no spirit of prayer. ~George Muller

"Dear Lord...create in me the desire to read Your Word and pray daily, even when I don't feel like it." ~Amen

about the blog

Jesus said "My house will be called a house of prayer". In like manner we think of this as a blog of prayer. Each day our prayer bloggers purpose to share a thought, offer up a prayer and give readers a chance to pray with us, offer comments and prayer requests.

about prayer

Anyone who is having troubles should pray. Anyone who is happy should sing praises. Anyone who is sick should call the church's elders. They should pray for and pour oil on the person in the name of the Lord. And the prayer that is said with faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will heal that person. And if the person has sinned, the sins will be forgiven. Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so God can heal you. When a believing person prays, great things happen. (James 5:13-16 NCV)
